Golf Monthly Verdict

Even into a breeze the Rapture V2 produced high-flying, long drives. We felt the lime green alignment aid was more distracting than necessary, but this did not take away from the high levels of forgiveness on offer.

PING Rapture V2 driver video review

Throughout the new Rapture V2 range tungsten is strategically placed to improve performance. The driver has a titanium body with weights located near the heel and toe to reduce spin and produce longer drives. Variable face thickness increases forgiveness on mis-hits.

In July 2023, Neil became just the 9th editor in Golf Monthly's 112-year history. Originally working with the best coaches in the UK to produce instruction content, he went on to become a feature writer interviewing many of the biggest names in the game including Tiger Woods, Seve Ballesteros, Rory McIlroy and Arnold Palmer.

A 5-handicap golfer, Neil is a club member who takes a keen interest in the health of the game at grassroots level. You’ll often now find him writing about club-related issues such as WHS, membership retention and how best to bridge the gap between the range and the course.
